Why are evergreen trees conical?

Answer 1

Many of the trees are adapted to withstand large and heavy snowfalls and most conifers are conicalshaped trees that shed snow easily without breaking limbs or some of them also have very thick bark to protect them from fire.

Answer 2

Evergreen trees are conical in shape due to their evolutionary adaptation to better withstand heavy snow loads in their natural habitats. The conical shape allows snow to slide off easily without weighing down the branches or breaking them. This shape also helps evergreen trees capture more sunlight for photosynthesis in colder climates.

Answer 3

There are many species of evergreen trees that are not conical. It's mainly the "pinus species" that are conical

Answer 4

Evergreens are called by this name because of their literal tendency to remain "ever green" during the winter.....they don't lose their green needles.

Answer 5

most of them are conical because conical trees can live and easily reproduce in boreal climates... it's hard to pollinate for ordinary trees
